Loxpos. Aug. S3.-Nr- Frank u. Col.
lier, OF Chicago, was the recipient
private audience with the Queen, % -.
borne House, yesterday afternoon ana
presented TO Her Majesty the jubilee al
dress Of residents Of Chicago Of British
birth Of parentagc. In presenting the al
dress Mr.. Collier said: "Your Ma1esty-in
behalf Of sixty thousand people OF the
city OF Chicago OF British birth or parent
age, Il gives me great pleasure 70 present
20 you this congratulatory address.
Though separtcd far from our mother-
land, our hearts still beat warmly with
love and veneration for England's Queen
The Queen replied: ~ thank You ana
the people you represent for the address,
and thank you personally for your own
words. Ny answer TO the address you
will find in this paper"
The Queen then handed 10 Mr.. Collier
her formal reply 20 the address, when -
as follows: II thank you for the address
which you have presented me. Coming,
rs it does, from persons Of English birth
beyond the seas. who retain feelings OF
love for their mother country and SYM
pathy with her, receive II with PEI
culiar satisfaction. That the peo-
pie OF Chicago should have given
expression TO these kind expressions
not only toward the Anglo-Saxon races OF
these realms, but also toward myself, Is 20
me q source Of much graft fication, and sus-
tains me in the belief that the friendship
and good will which now exists between
the two countries, and which / have
always endeavored to promote, are OF 9
real and enduring character"
Mr.. Collier was driven from Osborne
house to Cowes I'm one OF the Royal car
riages. and returned to London last even
ing. He was asked by a reporter whether
he kissed the Queens hand, and replied;
"No; l did not, for the reason that i
would have been improper, as am not q
British subject, but am proud TO 30 m
American citizen. consider the fact that
the Queen granted private audience FOL
the purpose Of presenting the address q
compliment, not only to the British resi-
dents OF Chicago. but to citizens Of thu
/ town generally.
/ Mr.. Collier reached Portsmouth Sunday
T, and crossed to Cowes yesterday. He was
I received by Sir Henry F. Ponsonby an'
escorted 70 Osborne House, where, q
4 two o'clock, he took luncheon with 81
4 John Cawell and several members OF tn
/ Queens household, including Sir II. Z
4 Ponsonby, DR.. sJenner, Her Majesty
physician, and Colonel ByEg, after whicl
he was shown about the house. The audi
ence took place ut half-pas three o'clock
The address is mainly congratulatory, bu
the intention OF the signers that He
Majesty should not be misled as TO thel
political allegiance Is plainly evident fror
this sentence: "Although the signers ar
proud TO be citizens Of the United State
they do not forget their British birth
parentage."
As Mr.. Collier retired, the Queen locke
at the covers OF the address, and said: y
10 very pretty"
The Crown Princess Of Prussia was pr
sent. The whole proceeding Is most g
traordinary in view Of the fact that q
Queen absolutely refused TO receive pei
sonally the English addresses that wei
not published here.
